A missionary from Missouri currently working in South Africa has caused outrage online as pictures of her dressed as a Syrian refugee appeared online.
Abigail Dapron’s outfit was complete with a hijab and a plastic baby doll in a sling.
This year we’ve seen the tragic death of hundreds of refugees as they’ve made the long and dangerous journey towards Europe, and with winter approaching, the death toll is set to rise considerably. Nur Initiative are raising money to help those is Lesvos. Donate here.
